Important things to note:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can t in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and
tiles providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do
NOT forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they
are laying comfortably in between each stud.
CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable
can result in damaging the cable and light.
Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion
Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion
board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the
port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing
toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug
won’t t easily into a port connector, do not force it.
WARNING: Incorrectly inserting the connector can
result in bent pins inside the port or possible
overheating of the expansion board when connected.
Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.
When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed
the correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either
place them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

OK, Let’s Begin!

Instructions for installing this kit
1.) Let’s start by removing the roof of the car.
2.) We will be installing lights to the headlights rst. To do this, remove
the following pieces from the front of the car.
Continue to remove the following pieces which make up the
windscreen, side windows, and grey triangular tiles from the sides of
the car.
4.) Remove the front section with the grill and number plate attached,
followed by the 2 Lego 2x4 plates with light pieces attached.
5.) Remove the 2 grey round pieces as well as the transparent round
pieces connected to them.
Take 1 standard Bit Light (non ashing) and place it on top of the stud
of the grey round plate ensuring the LED component part is facing the
correct way up. Secure the LED in place by connecting the transparent
Lego plate over the top.
Install the remaining LEDs to all front headlights (2 on each side) using
the above process so that we have a total of 4 standard Bit lights
installed. Reconnect the light pieces back to the 2 Lego 2x4 plates
ensuring that the cables from the LEDs are facing upward and then
reconnect the plates back to the front of the car.
Reconnect the front middle section with the grill and number plate
attached.
6.) Before reconnecting the white Lego pieces which make up the front
bonnet, ensure that the cables from the LEDs are laid in between the
studs of the Lego plates underneath as per below example images.
7.) Hide 2 cables from the lights on the left side of the car (looking
from the front) up the left side by laying them in between the white
studs and then reconnecting the grey triangular plates over the top of
them.
8.) Before we hide the 2 cables from the right we will rst install an
LED to the blue light at the right side window. To do this, remove this
section at the grey stud with clip.
Take another standard Bit Light (non ashing) and install it with the
LED component part facing down (as it wont connect with it facing up).
Secure this into place by connecting another transparent blue plate
(which we have provided) over the top.
Reconnect this section back to the side of the car ensuring the cable
from the LED is on the inside facing the car.
Ensure the LED component part is facing down or inward
9.) Take the cable from the LED we just installed and the 2 cables from
the front right lights and hide them in between studs up the right side
of the car by reconnecting the grey triangular plates over the top of
them.
10.) We will now install 2 LEDs to the tail lights. Turn the car to the
back and remove the back window and white back section of the car.
The back section should remove in one piece.
Remove the transparent red cone pieces from each side of the car. Take
a standard Bit light(non ashing) and place it over the top of the red
stud on the side of the car ensuring the LED component part is facing
the correct way up. Secure the LED in place by reconnecting the
transparent red piece over the top of it. Ensure the cable from the LED
is facing toward the middle so that we can hide it behind the back piece
we removed earlier.
Repeat this step for the tail light on the other side using another
standard Bit Light. Reconnect the back piece with the ghostbusters
logo on it and ensure the cables from the LEDs are hidden behind.
11.) It’s time to neaten up all the cabling from the LEDs we have
installed so far. Take the 5 cables from the front lights and twist/wind
them around each other starting from the base working your way up.
They should all come together neatly.
Repeat this step for the cables from the tail lights, twisting/winding
them around each other. We should now have 2 groups of cables.
12.) Connect the cables from the tail lights into one of the 12-port
expansion boards (expansion board#1) by rst winding them around
the board before connecting them into the rst 2 available ports. We
are winding them around the board so that we don’t have too much
excess cabling to have to hide later on.
13.) Take the battery pack and insert the 2x CR2032 batteries. Connect
the battery pack cable into the next available port on the expansion
board.
14.) Connect the cables from the front lights into the next available
ports of the expansion board then tuck the cabling underneath the
expansion board in the back seat section of the car.
Reconnect the back window.
We can now take the time to test the lights we have installed so far by
simply turning the battery pack switch to “ON” and verifying all is OK!
Reconnect the side windows.
15.) We will now install lights to the roof of the car. The roof is made up
of 3 white base plates, front, middle and back. Start by removing the
back section, followed by the grey 2x6 plate with blue light pieces
connected to it.
Remove the following pieces from the 2x6 plate and then connect one
of the provided grey 1x2 Lego plates on each side as per below.
16.) Take 1 ashing Bit light and place it on top of the grey stud closest
to the outside of the plate ensuring the LED component part is facing
the correct way up. Secure this in place by connecting one of the
provided transparent blue 1x2 plates over the top. Repeat this for the
light on the other side ensuring the LED is installed to the stud closest
to the outside and the LED component is facing the correct way up.
Reconnect the transparent blue triangular plates we removed earlier on
top of the additional plates we just installed.
17.) We will now install asing LEDs to the blue spot lights at the front.
Remove the grey plates with clips from the pole and then disconnect
the round blue pieces from them.
Note: This may be a little tricky and you may need to use the Lego removal
tool for the blue pieces.
Locate 2 of the provided grey plates with clips as we will be replacing
the original ones with these. Take another 2 ashing Bit Lights and
install them by placing them over the studs and connecting the blue
transparent round pieces over the top.
Reconnect these 2 plates to the pole and then reconnect them to the
rest of the roof section.
It is important to ensure that the cabling for the 4 lights are facing
down and behind the pole.
18.) Reconnect the 2x6 plate to the rest of the roof, without the white
plate underneath. Then remove the red light with white stud
underneath so we can install another ashing Bit Light to it.
Take another ashing Bit light and install it to this section ensuring
that the LED is laid over the white stud and secured down by
reconnecting the red piece over the top.
